[GB & JB] Reset Binary Counter

[Shaaan]

Please note that if you perform this procedure, you do it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage!

Supports both I9070 and I9070P!

For resetting binary counter on gingerbread and jellybean :


In terminal emulator, do this :

$ su
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1 count=1 seek=3145732

Make sure that you issue the correct command as this is extremely risky and if done incorrectly, might result in a HARDBRICK.!!

This method will work on any custom kernel and any custom rom. Please stop sending me pms for it.!

Huge credits to antsm for pointing me to the correct direction
Anex for testing on GB
Raneet for testing on JB.


Buy me a coffee, maybe?

I have been in touch with antsm regarding resetting the binary counter. Since our device has the STE ux500 SoC, Chainfire's Triangle Away doesn't work by default!
This can be solved by manually editing the Secondary Bootloader Partition of the device. I am actively working with him, to get this working.

Since i don't have much time and resource to do this alone, i would greatly appreciate support from the community!
I would request only the experienced members to come forward since this process is EXTREMELY RISKY and may result in a HARD BRICK.!!
